Sounds like pepperoncini. A pretty mild, but tasty Greek pepper served
in many Italian restaurants in my area with "poor boy" or "hero"
sandwiches. They're not 'spenmsive and they can be just what you need
to kick up that tuna sammich a notch or two - without getting totally
iggerant. <GGG>
ENJOY!!!
